Abstract

The need for exegesis and hermeneutics to be more objective does not, of necessity, preclude subjectivity. This is because none of the modern readers approaches the Bible from a tabula rasa, "blank slate" perspective. On the contrary, every modern reader approaches the Bible with a certain degree of preconceived ideas, cultural orientations, and personal biases. In the end, what one perceives the Bible as saying tends to be coloured by these idiosyncrasies. In view of the foregoing, this study seeks to discuss the factors that affect the methods and results/findings of the exegesis and hermeneutics of the Bible texts. It also seeks to briefly illustrate how these factors operate in selected examples of issues and passages of Scripture. This paper employs the contextual method, allowing the contexts of the issues or Bible passages presented to determine how the various factors presented in the paper affect the exegesis and hermeneutics of the Bible.
